Why Some are Calling for a World Cup Boycott | TIME

This article from TIME discusses the growing calls for a boycott of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which the U.S. is co-hosting with Canada and Mexico. Prominent soccer figures, European lawmakers, and fans have expressed concerns over the Trump Administration's immigration policies, foreign policy, and travel restrictions. Critics cite the administration's violent immigration crackdown, expansionist policies, and tariffs as reasons for the boycott. FIFA President Gianni Infantino's close relationship with U.S. President Donald Trump has also raised eyebrows. Despite these calls, it remains uncertain if any boycott will materialize, given the lack of action during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
